Culturally enriched Langtang Valley 

Even being close to Kathmandu, the largest city in Nepal, nothing in Langtang valley seems blemished by urban elements. You'll experience the mixed cultural and socio-economic lifestyle of Nepalese people of Tibetan origin in Langtang valley. 

The naive Tamang and Tibetan origin people are the locals of this valley. The culture and rituals of this place date back a couple of centuries. The attires, stone-built houses, and the wood-carved porches reflect the intact Himalayan lifestyle. On top, Kyanjing Gompa, at Kyangin, holds a rigid pious space among Buddhists. 

Awe-Inspiring Landscape in Langtang Valley trek route

Langtang is similar to the Tibetan highlands, with heart-melting landscapes. On the route, you can see varieties of rhododendrons, bamboo forests, snow-capped peaks, and dancing waterfalls. These natural elements make your Langtang trekking a memorable time of a lifetime.

Langtang sits 30 km towards Kathmandu from the Tibet border. Surrounded in the north by the Himalayan giants, Langtang Lirung, at 7,245 metres, is the highest peak in Langtang valley. Chim Se Danda(ridge), Ganja La Pass at 5,122 metres, and Jugal Himal at 6,095 metres scintillate to the South of Langtang valley. 

Tibet's tallest peak, Shishapangama at 8,013 metres, ornates Langtang heavenly. Langtang valley abodes 70 plus glaciers of sizes originating from the mighty Himalayas. 

Flowy glaciers and moraines of Dorje Lakpa, Langtang Lirung, and several peaks feed the Langtang river, which streams through the valley gorgeously.

Religious trip to Langtang Valley

Langtang National Park is home to the supreme Hindu god, Lord Shiva. The freshwater lakes inside Langtang valley, Gosaikunda, and Bhairav Kunda are renowned among pilgrims. Another lake, Panch Pokhari, home to five freshwater lakes, also sits at 4,200 metres in Langtang National Park. 

Every year, during Janai Purnima, Hindu pilgrims visit these lakes and take a bath. People believe that bathing in these lakes purifies the soul and body. Also, most people believe that bathing in Gosaikunda Lake eradicates skin diseases. 

Buddhist pilgrims also visit Kyanjin Gompa during the time of Buddha Purnima. Also, trekking to Langtang during the Losar festival amalgamates cultural cum natural serenity. 

Whatever the reason is, Langtang Valley is also an ideal festival trek destination.
